Awareness is our natural state
Although awareness is our natural state, we feel there are boundaries and imitations simply because we identify with the body mind. This identification is not imposed on us. In a way, it is our choice to buy into this mass neurosis and experience this sense of lack. Maybe we enjoy the hide and seek…
Contemplate the reality of your experience
Conversation with a friend. ~~~ ~~~ As you continue to contemplate the reality and truth of your experience, the personality patterns will become less and less important and less and less predominant. The path of love and beauty will continue to unfold and will continue to attract you until you can…
A few words about enlightenment. ~~~. Enlightenment, as a glimpse in the Self is not an experience since the mind is not present. The mind comes after the fact to take the glory that it has not earned. And yet, the mind gets altered by this non-event as the Humpty Dumpty egg gets cracked, allowing…
What is perceived refers to the perceiving
What is perceived refers to the perceiving and not to the perceived, for the perceived is an ever shifting target, an ever metamorphosing impression, a set of changing definitions. that points to beyond its form. It is the knowingness/perceiving, which is not a thing, which is not a definable form…
Even though you choose to forget, you are never not the Self. You move away from yourself and become someone and you experience the angst of feeling lost only to search for yourself and re-member yourself. dis-covering yourself where you have always been, and giggling at the entire endeavor. You…
I am always experiencing myself and never stop experiencing myself. I am myself as myself. I never cease being myself as I AM myself. I look at you and experience myself. It is always so I have never been otherwise. Myself. Not a knowable. Not a known form object. Not a mortal body mind.…
About consciousness. ~~~ ~~~ Consciousness is eternal. That, that does not come and go. the reality of our experience. As phenomenal events appear and disappear, consciousness is not a phenomenal event that comes and goes. It is the undeniable reality of our experience. Our experience is known and…
Experience without the personal subject
Whatever is experienced without adding a personal subject is unspoiled and simply delightful. Habitually, thought adds the me (personal subject) and the entire matter becomes a me-matter. That is what a contraction amounts to: a me-situation that is felt in the body, in the belly, in the chest, in…
All you experience is yourself
All you experience is yourself. Nothing separate. Nothing outside or inside. One seamless reality. There is no mind to know it. It is self knowing. But even that is mind fodder. You go nowhere. You do not come from anywhere. The entire limited you is a dream illusion as separation is imagination.…
Although the perceived impression appears limited in time and space, perception is not. There is a reality to your experience. This reality is not in the perceived and is not subject to the time/space limitations of the perceived. The perceived is like a blinking firefly at night. The reality of…
Dear friend, I understand and hear you that it is not your experience that the individual entity goes away. I also understand and hear you that if it is not one's experience that the individual entity has dissolved, then stating that the individual entity dissolves is just a belief and not a direct…
In my book, the term spirituality refers to perceiving the unperceived hand of god. This requires grace to gift you a revelation from and of beyond the form, revealing its universal and infinite nature. From the perspective of the conditioned mind, the impression of materialism veils this…
Time is duration. Duration, an imagined span between two thought events. Now does not take place between two thought events. Now has no duration and therefore is not in time, not in thought. So one could say that there is no Now since what the mind refer to as Now has no real duration. It is this…
In contemplating your experience, contemplate the source rather than the content. While the content of your experience draws you into desire and aversion, the source recalls you to itself, recalls you to the freedom, to the peace and happiness of your true nature. The contemplation of the source is…
In the eternity of presence, I am you and never leave you. As two drops of water are one, consciousness is whole, complete and inseparable. Contemplate the reality of your experience and be done with the illusion of separation. You have never been an object, a body mind. That is your dream and not…
You trust the mind to take you where the mind is not. How foolish! Questioner: That is all you have at your disposal. is it not? Reply: The mind comes and goes. What you have at your disposal is the eternity and infinity of consciousness. Since you rely on the mind and on the senses you believe the…
About 'thought being a bitch'. inspired by a friend's post: ~~~ Thoughts are like images appearing 'out of' as well as 'on the' screen, are not a bitch from the screen's point of view. A thought is a bitch only from another thought's point of view. 'Distance' between thought and awareness is not…
There is more to the Jello than the fruit
When you perceive the forms and objects that arise in the openness of awareness but fail to experience the seamless, borderless, radiant awareness that YOU are, you remain entangled in the phenomenal world, body and mind. It is like being served Cherry flavored Jello, noticing the fruits and grapes…
What is it we truly love? Is it an object, a situation, an experience as a mortal body mind? Is it the decaying form that we love or is it the sweetness, the tenderness, beauty, intelligence and truth . that we truly love? Imagining that such qualities reside in a form, a situation, a relationship…
True happiness does not depend on anything, on anyone. Does not depend on any situation or event. Does not depend on any experience or state. Does not depend on any relationship or condition. It is the realization of what already IS . aware presence. uncreated, unborn. The complete dissolution of…
Sat-chit-ananda refers to: Being-Consciousness-Bliss Presence/Isness = Being Awareness/Experience = Consciousness Ananda = bliss. The realization of our pristine blissful true nature is the realization that Presence/ISness and Awareness/Consciousness are One. That is the 'I AM THAT' reference. The…
The impression of separation is a contraction of the open space of being. The limitation of identification with mortality, with the mortal body mind creates a contraction in the open space of being. It diminishes our experience from infinite joyful openness to the restrictive me-feeling. Our true…
